Gaming Life in Japan

The week in review from Japan, with new commercials.

By IGN Staff

The biggest thing in Japan this past week was Sega's Let's Make a Pro Soccer Team. In addition to being one of the most advertised games so far this year, it also managed an impressive 100,000+ sales in its first day at retail, pushing even the mega-hard-core Xenosaga Episode II (and a surprising chart-beating Pachinko game based off of Fist of the North Star) aside.

Outside of these two big games, this week saw the release of demos for games like Digital Devil Saga and Berserk, the arrival in Japan of the E3 Final Fantasy XII trailer and a few game announcements. Check it all out in our stories from over the week
